The Assessor’s Office ensures Monroe property owners share the tax burden through the discovery, listing, and equitable valuation of all real estate, business personal property, and motor vehicles in accordance with governing state statutes and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

2024 Property Revaluation Project Information

Pursuant to Connecticut State Statute Sec. 12-62, all municipalities in Connecticut are required to complete a revaluation of all properties within their jurisdiction every 5 years. As mandated by Connecticut State Law, the Assessor’s Office would like to inform property owners that the new property assessments as developed by Vision Government Solutions (Vision) for the October 1, 2024 Revaluation have been completed.  Assessment notices have been mailed out by Vision informing property owners of their new assessments.

You can review your property record data and new assessment information on the Vision website for Monroe at http://gis.vgsi.com/monroect.

Monroe homeowners have seen a substantial increase in their property values since the previous revaluation was completed back in 2019. Since the total combined pool of assessment of all Monroe properties has increased significantly, there will likely be a material adjustment to the tax (mill) rate after Monroe’s fiscal year 2025-26 budget is approved through referendum. Ultimately, the tax (mill) rate is dependent on the funding required to finance the Town’s annual budget, and therefore, the actual tax implications for each property will not be known until the new mill rate is set by the Board of Finance some time in the Spring of 2025.

For more detailed information regarding the revaluation process please visit Monroe's revaluation site here or Vision's website at https://www.vgsi.com/taxpayer-revaluation-information.

The Assessor’s Office would like to thank residents and property owners for their cooperation and understanding during this state-mandated revaluation process.
